About Me Having been a backpacker off and on since the early 90's when a trip to Philmont infected me w/ the bug, I have transitioned over to a lighter kit. My first encounter with UL backpacking was some CDT thru-hikers I met in New Mexico. I went home and combed the web, found BPL, and the rest is history. Right now, I'm between jobs, working at a local running shop and have been doing a little freelance writing, hoping to find a voice for a writing career perhaps. Previously, I have obtained a meteorology degree and master's degree in secondary educ.

Ruffwear

thanks
Jeremy, I read your recent review on the Exodus and I'm sure we will exceed 20 lbs., especially on the first couple of resupply days. The MLD site says that approx. 70% goes to waist and 30% on...

Short MLD Exodus Owners?
In an ongoing effort to fit my wife w/ a UL pack, I'm wondering if any of you or your significant others have the small version of the Exodus. My wife is 5'2" and we have tried GoLite...

re:ohm hipbelt
Michael, I like your beefed up version of the hipbelt. I'm not even dissatisfied w/ the size of the belt. I like the simple version that's provided. I just prefer my hipbelt to stay over my...

re: tall jacket
I've got a Patagonia Rainshadow. You can find them on clearance around 100. I picked mine up for 80 or 90 from Northern Mountain Supply when they had a 20 off of 100 or more purchase. FWIW: I&...
